A presidential candidate and his senatorial line-up were able to beat the filing of candidacy last February 12, 2007 just before midnight. COMELEC employees couldn’t restrain themselves as they quickly rushed to meet the candidates and they weren’t shy at all in asking for their autographs and taking pictures.

According to their spokesperson, GM Tristan III, the new contenders will be running under a solid platform. “We will be focusing on five values: Pinoy, Outstanding, Respect, Integrity, Nationalism, and Gwapo, or P.O.R.I.N.G. for short. It’s time that we give the youth a better alternative to the traditional politics that we keep seeing year-in and year-out.”

When asked how they will go about campaigning, GM Tristan III says that they will be on a nationwide tour starting March and it will last all the way to May. “Aside from the usual posters, streamers, tarpaulins, and sample ballots, we’re also going to be staging rallies in selected areas. We want to bring our platform and our ideas to the people that matter the most: the youth. However, it’s not going to be your traditional caucus. We will be throwing big parties across the nation simply called the Ragna Rally! We will be posting the venues and schedules soon, so please watch out for it.” Tristan explains.
